For your safety

For your safetyPlease make sure to read the “Safety information” supplement included separately with the ADN CU1 central unit. This supple-ment contains important information on the safe operation of the ADN conference system as well as the manufacturer’s declara-tion and warranty notes.

A detailed instruction manual for the overall ADN conference system can be found

• on the Internet at www.sennheiser.com or• on the DVD-ROM supplied with the ADN CU1 central unit.

The ADN D1/C1 and ADN-W D1/C1 confer-ence unitsThe ADN D1 wired delegate unit and the ADN C1 wired chairperson unit as well as the ADN-W D1 wireless delegate unit and the ADN-W C1 wireless chairper-son unit are part of the Sennheiser ADN conference system.

IN OUT

To ensure full operational reliability in a redundant ring topology, the hardware of the ADN C1 and ADN D1 has been revised. If you combine conference units with hardware revision 1 (no marking on the type plate) and conference units with hardware re-vision 2 (“HW: v2” is printed on the type plate), fail-safe operation is only possible to a limited extent.

In a redundant ring topology, only use confer-ence units with hardware revision 2.

Preparing the ADN-W D1/C1 wireless conference units for operation

Preparing the ADN-W D1/C1 wireless con-ference units for operationTo operate the wireless conference unit, you have to connect a gooseneck microphone (ADN-W MIC 15 or ADN-W MIC 36; available in different lengths) to the console of the conference unit. The ADN-W BA battery pack supplies power to the wireless conference unit. The conference system automatically recognizes if the connected wireless conference unit is a chairperson unit (ADN-W C1) or a delegate unit (ADN-W D1) and initializes it automatically. Information on how to configure the wireless conference components can be found in the ADN system manual or in the instruction manuals of the ADN CU1 central unit and the ADN-W AM antenna module.

If you do not connect a microphone to the wireless conference unit, you can use the console as a loudspeaker to output the floor channel.

Screwing on/unscrewing the ADN-W MIC 15/36 gooseneck microphone

10

To screw on the gooseneck microphone:

Put the gooseneck microphone onto the microphone connection 12.

Screw the microphone to the micro-phone connection by turning the fasten-ing thread 10 clockwise.The microphone is securely connected to the conference unit.

To unscrew the gooseneck microphone:

Unscrew the microphone by turning the fastening thread 10 counterclockwise.

Carefully remove the gooseneck micro-phone from the microphone connection.

Function check of the microphoneAfter switch-on, the wireless conference unit checks the proper functioning of the gooseneck microphone. If errors occur during the check of the microphone, the microphone LED 8 and, if the microphone is power supplied, the signal light ring 2 flash red rapidly and the microphone is automatically deactivated.

Preparing the ADN-W D1/C1 wireless conference units for operation

Replace the defective microphone by a new one.If you screw the microphone to or unscrew it from the wireless conference unit during operation (wireless conference unit is switched on), proper func-tioning of the conference unit cannot be guaranteed, i.e. volume differences or noise may occur.

First connect the microphone and then switch the conference unit on.

Inserting/removing the battery packTo insert the ADN-W BA battery pack into the wireless conference unit:

Check the battery pack before using it in order to ensure sufficient battery capacity and to exclude a defective battery pack (see the instruction manual of the battery pack).

Charge the battery pack if necessary (see the instruction manual of the bat-tery pack).

Slide the battery pack into the battery guide rails 13 of the wireless confer-ence unit.

The battery release clip 8 locks into place with an audible click and secures the battery pack.

To remove the battery pack from the wireless conference unit:

Press the battery release clip 8 and pull the battery pack out of the battery guide rails.

Switching the wireless conference unit on/offTo switch the wireless conference unit on:

Press the microphone key 7.The microphone LED 8 and the signal light ring 2 flash red and the RF status indicator 2 on the ADN-W BA battery pack flashes blue slowly. Once the initialization process is complete and after connection to the ADN-W AM an-tenna module is established, the microphone LED 8 and the signal light ring 2 go off. The RF status indicator 2 on the ADN-W BA battery pack indicates the transmission quality:

If no connection to an antenna module can be established within 5 minutes, the wireless conference unit automatically switches off.

To switch all wireless conference units off:

Set the on/off switch of the ADN CU1 central unit to position „0“.The central unit is switched off and the display panel goes off. The ADN-W AM antenna module connected to the central unit is switched off. All switched-on and connected wireless conference units are automatically switched off after 5 minutes.

If you are using the “Conference Manager” software, you can also switch off all wireless conference units with a mouse click (detailed information can be found in the ADN system manual).

To switch individual wireless conference units off:

Press the microphone key 7 for 5 seconds

or:

Remove the ADN-W BA battery pack from the conference unit (see „Insert-ing/removing the battery pack“).The conference unit switches off. All LEDs go off.

If the conference mode is set to “Push to talk”, you can only switch off the wireless conference unit by removing the battery pack.

The manual switch-off function via the microphone key can be deacti-vated (detailed information can be found in the ADN system manual).

Operating a delegate unit

Operating a delegate unitThe operation of the ADN D1 wired conference unit and the ADN-W D1 wireless conference unit is identical.

Press the microphone key 7.Your microphone switches on and you can take the floor immediately. The microphone LED 8 and the signal light ring 2 light up red. The loudspeaker 9 is muted. Depend-ing on the conference mode and the speak-er limit set, the microphone of the previous speaker will be deactivated.

If the conference mode is set to „Push To Talk“:

Press the microphone key 7 and keep it pressed for the duration of your contribu-tion.Your microphone switches on and you can take the floor immediately. The microphone LED 8 and the signal light ring 2 light up red. The loudspeaker 9 is muted.

If the conference mode is set to “Request”, you have to be granted speaking privileges:

Press the microphone key 7.Depending on the setting adjusted in the operating menu (detailed informa-tion can be found in the ADN system manual)

• the microphone LED 8 flashes green and the signal light ring 2 flashes red

or

• only the microphone LED 8 flashes green.When the chairperson grants you speaking privileges, your microphone is activated. The microphone LED 8 and the signal light ring 2 light up red. The loudspeaker 9 is muted. Depending on the conference mode and the speaker limit set, the microphone of the previous speaker will be deactivated.

Deactivating the microphone/Canceling a request to speakTo deactivate the microphone when you have finished speaking or to cancel a request to speak (“Direct Access”, “Override” or “Request” mode):

Operating a delegate unit

Press the microphone key 7 once more.The microphone LED 8 and the signal light ring 2 go off.
